president obama's are. breaking news from r.t. days of intense talks shrouded in secrecy result in the storage deal ending a decade of diplomatic standoff over iran's nuclear program but the vision to remain iranian. enrichment program will continue this first does not say that a has a right to enrich but mixed messages so what exactly decides to goree on. this war has started. and it's going to be going for another six months experts warn that the deal's vague language could see all sides interpret the detail to suit themselves. you know the news a tear gas scaring care of reports of a heavy handed police response to the thousands marching on ukraine's government

building angry at the country's wavering on integrating with the you. also in the weeks main use doomed flight three six three data recorder yields insight into the tragic air crash that killed fifty people in central russia we reconstruct the jets final desperate moments. the afghan president rejects advice at home and abroad to sign off on a security pact with washington that would allow u.s. troops to stay in afghanistan after twenty four to. their welcome home watching r.t. with me. now we start with the main breaking development this sunday it's a done deal six world powers have reached an agreement. with iran bringing its

atomic program under control the landmark document is the result of exhaustive talks not only for diplomats but also for journalists who found themselves in a complete information blackout and he said now we wrap it up for us. the deal of the decade. there will be all sorts of interest will try to bolt guard this deal but for the moment we have diplomacy in action something that we haven't seen especially between us and iran for thirty four years so this is the bishopric breakthrough at the moment but we have two pieces of world powers and iran reach and historic agreement ending the deadlock over tehran's nuclear ambitions after a decade of fell threats and sanctions diplomacy has prevailed that was six negotiating powers agreed to recognize iran's right to peaceful nuclear energy missile including its right to nuclear enrichment on the condition that its program

is blazed under strict control by the i.a.e.a. iran will reduce its uranium enrichment from twenty to a maximum of five percent for the next six months and use no new centrifuges inspectors will monitor on a daily basis sanctions will begin to ease but while tehran celebrates what it claims is its newly recognize right by the west to a peaceful nuclear program not everyone is on board iran's green deal is the rules nightmare and some details seem to be lost in translation this first step does not say that iran has a right to enrich but the current agreement is the current plan of action as we call it in in cool this thing places. has a very clear reference to the fact that iranian. enrichment program will continue

so while the deal is sealed the spin has just started kerry had to say that so he could of piece the israel lobby the u.s. congress and that while hobby petro dollar law be in us not to mention some neil cong. says what's still very potholes the old rhetoric is expected to continue swirling despite a new arena and president in place who's taking powerful steps to convince the world that iran never has and never will attempt to arm the country with nuclear weapons israel has its mean two hundred and four hundred nuclear warheads and if ever iran were to who is a threat to israel whether a nuclear attack or if it were to build nuclear bombs which it has not decided it is no match but the deal still brings hope that dialogue is a match for the rhetoric that sanctions will surrender to solutions and diplomacy can break deadlock and he's now a r.t.

moscow. while the agreement has gained much the port in iran itself spiritual leader ayatollah khomeini welcomed it as a basis for the progress while some reigning experts believe that to run more gain more than it was sacrifice the fact that iran is halting uranium enrichment at twenty percent is something that iran actually wants because it's very expensive and the iranians have produced the fuel that it needs for the tatooine reactor that produces medical isotopes for cancer patients so the iranians have already produced enough nuclear fuel through enriching uranium at twenty percent and no longer needed so halting that is actually an advantage for iran because it does not want excess fuel because it's very costly so the iranians feel that they do not lose very much and they have a lot to gain and again it shows that steadfastness of these from the iranian perspective and. standing for your rights can achieve results.

meanwhile russia's president putin hailed sunday's agreement for opening the doors to positive diplomacy on the iranian nuclear program artie's medina kitchen of it is with us now to recap on moscow's reaction so what was the message from the kremlin while russian president vladimir putin has called this historic deal on iran's nuclear program that was achieved at talks in geneva a win win situation for all parties involved now the president said that this equipment is just a first step towards bringing a solution into this very complicated issue now he also said that it was achieved only thinks to a mutual diplomatic approach from all parties involved now the president said that russia has always been calling for a diplomatic approach in resolving the dispute over iran's nuclear program and it is very important that the grounds that russia had been offering work completely supported and acknowledged by the international community now the president said

that this deal will bring a positive to the development of the international situation especially and the middle east region and once again later imprudent said that this is just the beginning and russia will continue to seek the bass solution in this matter thanks medina. thank you. well for more perspective on the deal i'm joined live now by former commander of britain's chemical defense regiment hey mr breckon gordon thank you very much for coming on to the program this evening firstly do you agree that this is a victory for diplomacy as the russian president has put it. yes i do absolutely i think we've seen some very significant diplomatic action and in the last few months with the agreement again led by by a rusher in the u.s. to rid syria of its chemical weapons its weapons of mass destruction and now it

looks like the current deal is going to rid the potential for iran to develop a nuclear weapons program which could have more luck completely destabilize the middle east and probably the globe but allow them to develop their nuclear fuel industry to power. stations which to me seems to be the right way to move forward ok let's try and understand the detail iran was allowed to enrich uranium you said to five percent so what does that actually mean. well to make nuclear fuel for power stations you need to enrich to uranium or plutonium and all come back to that to about two percent but generally the five percent is it is used as the top level that allows you to conduct utilization which is slower release of nuclear energy by stressing atoms took her by power huge amounts of homes except. in order to produce nuclear

fuel two for the nuclear weapons you need to enrich to eighty percent in a bar to create a space in the atom very high rates very quickly to provide the devastating effect so basically by limiting it to five percent in my opinion so uranium that prevented the west now as well israel has been very angry about this and it has actually come out and said that allowing iran to continue enriching uranium even at lower levels brings it closer to nuclear weapons capability isn't there any small amount of truth in that. well our i've recently been in israel and i absolutely understand the position but prime minister netanyahu and the israelis are taking on this hour that could be key to this and it has been mentioned previously in this piece is is the work of the international atomic energy agency you now from what i

understand from the agreement the early hours this morning what facet access to all iran nuclear sites in particular patchin which is their military site where it is believed most of the development work has been done with the containments facility and also hydrodynamic equipment tenshi to use nuclear fuel for nuclear weapons so there so they can investigate that they can investigate the other areas also iraq which is the heavy water power station in the past ocean that's being developed using plutonium so i think with the unfettered access of the i.a.e.a. a bit of validation and verify these things the concerns of israel although a real shoot should be disputed because unless you can enrich uranium or plutonium to a greater than five percent you've got very little chance of developing a viable nuclear weapon ok thank you very much for your thoughts they are

fascinating this former commander of the british military chemical defense regiment had a mission to brecon gordon thank you. the agreement in geneva was hailed by u.s. president barack obama who at the same time said that the lion's share of american sanctions will stay in place as a washington correspondent reports it's still unclear though whether iran sigh of relief well last for long. president obama pledged quote unquote a modest relief of sanctions in return for iran scaling back its nuclear program now the relief will include freeing up a small portion of iran's overseas accounts as well as easing some other trade restrictions here's actually what the president said on our side the united states and our friends and allies have agreed to provide iran with modest relief while continuing to apply our toughest sanctions we will refrain from imposing new sanctions and we will allow the iranian government excess to

a portion of the revenue that they have been denied through sanctions but the broader architecture of sanctions will remain in place and we will continue to enforce them vigorously and if iran does not fully meet its commitments during the six month phase we will turn off the relief and ratchet up the pressure and we know that the u.s. congress was just about to pass another round of sanctions and the president has urged congress not to do that now although the obama administration now says sanctions have worked in these negotiations others argue that sanctions have created this hostile environment which throughout all these years made it impossible to reach a deal now we have to take into account that the obama administration is now under a lot of pressure from the u.s. congress which is hardly in favor of any deal what they want and its allies israel and some of the gulf states which don't want to see iran sanctions sanctions relief to so president obama as well as secretary kerry they had to work their statements

very carefully and ultimately their message to both israel and their partners in the gulf was that this deal will eventually make everyone safer. republican reaction does range from accusations over giving away millions and not gaining anything to approach is for alienating america's allies the agreement has also been described as fundamentally flawed but some activists in the u.s. think that these claims will have no impact on the deal itself the u.s. is not going to give up on this beast you know we've had it basically old war with iran says nine hundred seventy nine and this is a major step forward and we have everybody on board yes the they're not enriching to twenty percent it has not been they do it a scare a nuclear weapon here that was probably more of the french who don't want to compete with the market for medical isotopes but there's been a lot of negotiation and a lot of time put in this and they're not going to throw it all away because the israelis are having a fair. for some israel's anger over the deal went

a bit too far and that the country only just stopped short of making an explicit threat to attack iran prime minister netanyahu reaffirmed his tough stance that a news conference our middle east correspondent paula slayer has more on the reaction there. what we heard from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in a brief press conference is that iran is taking cosmetic steps that it could reverse easily netanyahu also saying that sanctions that took years to put into place on now being undone the israeli prime minister warned that this state dispersed it could very well be they lost it and he asked the question what incentive does he now have to dismantle its nuclear weapons program the israeli prime minister said we cannot and we will not allow a country that cause for the destruction of israel to have nuclear weapons capability the israeli prime minister also saying that when israel's friends and

allies on mistaken he sees it as his obligation to speak out netanyahu saying that my responsibility first and foremost is to the one and only jewish state that there is netanyahu also saying that israel is not bound by the greenman and that is a statement we've heard from the cross spectrum obvious rady political leaders netanyahu in fact said that this was not an historic deal but he called it rather a historic mistake now israeli ministers have been lining up to nam bats to rein in nuclear deal the country's foreign minister avigdor lieberman has said that all options are on the table and that israel would act independently of the deal that is reached with iran essentially jerusalem believes that the deal is marching against the draft but it is still a bad deal according to the israelis and they say it could get worse if the controls at all stipulated in the agreement or not rigorously adhered to the deal

is based according to the trick that we're hearing coming out of television on self-delusion we've heard that it's their message of the bad deal that was reached and signed with north korea we've also heard from other ministers that it brings the world closer to a nuclear arms race and that there's no reason for the world to celebrate what the signing of this deal has indicated first and foremost is that israel is food isolated and even more marginalized by an international community that in effect did not listen to the israeli concerns. you're watching r.t. just ahead we reconstruct the tragic crash of russia's flight three six three a report on the unrest in ukraine these stories are coming up in a couple of minutes. again if we you take up your personal example off the government topping your followers out. to be years later you know some governments cannot afford to do that

only you know again some prominent journalism homes are getting some has a state i remember thinking at the time they discovered all this if they were tapping my phone for this ocean in consequential information demist been tapping thousands of telephones here and not. choose your language to. make it without going to stay still some of. china's good can sense you. choose the opinions that immigrate to. choose to stories that impact the lives choose the access to your office.

hello again the flight data recorder from the passenger jet that crashed in central russia last sunday has been deep coded with indications still pointing towards pilot error for causing the tragedy investigators say he caused the plane to nosedive onto the runway of course an international airport killing all fifty people on board the trouble began with the weather when conditions were much stronger than the acceptable levels for landing this type of playing during what's called the final approach the jet was just thirty meters off the ground when the pilot told air traffic control he needed to perform a go around and make a second attempt to land him pitch the plane's nose up to gain some height but lost so much speed he almost stalled the aircraft and in desperation the pilot went into an emergency descent to gain speed in lift but that put the plane into a uncontrollable dive plunging it into the ground at four hundred fifty kilometers

per hour. went to the sea of the tragedy. the final traumatic moments of words that had almost completed its journey forty four passengers six crew members everyone on board gone doc was dead although he was such a good boy healthy in hansoms he had a good family his son is only three years old and he made many plans for the future a tragedy that meant family friends and colleagues in the rivals for willing to welcome their friends and loved ones home or instead reaping the rewards. of was meeting his two associates yonder from moscow and diana from cambridge in england one of the two foreigners on board that moscow took us on flight they were on their way to the court in a business mercer course full of students. we all knew what happened but many kept hoping until the very last moment that their relative sense or. by horrific picture many became hysterical doctors help because some lost consciousness others had to

lean on the world's largest or closer to head to ready for the victims' relatives whenever they were needed ambulances are also on standby for when the shock is too much to bear will be complications we're going to pick asian. get. there no bodies and we fragments the force and speed of the impact means there are a few clues right now the flight recorders have been taken to moscow since they were badly damaged but could reveal what was said in the final few minutes in the cockpit and whether the plane was functioning normally twenty four hours after sunday's crash flights have resumed international airport but it's not business as usual scores of people have been coming in bringing flowers to show their respects to the victims while instead of new evidence giving answers the latest footage of the crash is only reason for the questions you got this kind of r.t. republic of the other star. we canvass nureyev aviation experts engineers and try

to control the mistakes that appear to have been made on that plane to fly their thoughts more analysis are available on our website. the speculation that ukrainian police have used tear gas on protesters in kiev although some sources say the demonstrators were startled by a smoke bomb thrown by one of their own over one hundred thousand people are rallying kiev over ukraine's last minute decision to abandon an integration deal with the e.u. election is there for r.t. . ukraine is divided again the decision by the government to suspend the free trade agreement with the european union polarized the country these people participating in the largest protest rally i've seen in years in kiev say that they completely disagree with this decision they say the president must be impeached at the different rally just a few hundred meters from his supporters of the president say that this decision was a bridge magic one and was the correct one with the notion which is shared by many

political analysts as well because looking at the possible disadvantages economic disadvantage is that ukraine could have suffered from german joining the free trade agreement it's easy to see why first of all there was an isolation of ukrainian machinery factories could have cost more than one hundred billion dollars all together the actually which a grand cannot afford at the moment so the fact is a lot more denies they can get closed and the tens of thousands may find themselves in the streets without work and could create a social unrest another factor which was also crucial here is that in order to be in line with the european standards ukrainian government had to increase prices for heating other tricity and gas for the ordinary population certainly this is something few in ukraine would have liked so looking at all this and other possible economic disadvantage is ukraine's economy decided not to sign this deal it was looking for some sort of compensation from the european union but the european union did not fall for any kind of conversations or for the put put potential economic damages and the losses essentially this is what caused the signing not to happen next week another interesting twist in the story happening during the week

is that the european union in fact pointed the finger at russia accusing russia of blackmailing ukraine to sign out of this free trade deal the russian president hit back saying that in fact it was the european union who blackmailed ukraine it would have been blackmailing ukraine all throughout the negotiation process let's have a listen to the russian president when i have just found out yesterday that ukraine has suspended not canceled but suspended negotiations with the e.u. he wants to review everything we've heard different from the e.u. to ukraine's all the way up to organizing mass protests this is pressure and blackmail. in other news the afghan president has rejected advice from the country's influential council of elders that he sign an important security pact with the u.s. as soon as possible how many cars i told the three thousand strong meeting he would not ratify the greenman with america and to paste return to afghanistan but washington has said any accord must be reached as soon as possible but if the deal

is sealed up to fifteen thousand u.s. soldiers will stay until twenty fourteen and possibly beyond they would support afghan forces but would still be able to carry out military operations against al qaeda and its affiliates it includes keeping the right to raid homes an issue that's a rage of the afghan people and there's another contentious point the deal gives american forces immunity placing them solely under u.s. military jurisdiction all of which leave the afghan president under pressure from the us and it. is worried of course that he owes his existence to the presence of the american forces that have kept him in power and yet at the same time he knows that millions of afghans resent our angry indignation about the fact of the united states government has run roughshod over their country for the last twelve years what the united states is proposing is that the united states will maintain military bases and soldiers in afghanistan for

a quarter of a century twenty twenty four is almost a quarter of a century after the two thousand and one invasion this is a clear instance of a colonial relationship where the united states invades an occupied as a country uses various pretexts and then maintains military bases so that ultimately whoever is the government after karzai the u.s. will be determine are the real power in afghanistan. up next x. on a boy kev explores the waning influence of journalism in wills about. there is now an all new form of humanitarian aid for the twenty first century created by members of the occupy movement this is nothing to do with hunger or homelessness

but a different key problem in the so-called first world debt the rolling jubilee project has already bought around fifteen million dollars in personal debt for americans around the country most of the financial obligations that they bought were for medical bills and now the people who have to pay these bills are free from their burdens the group claims that the secondary debt market is very cheap and that they were able to buy the nearly fifteen million dollars in debt for only four hundred thousand dollars the secondary market exists because banks try to sell consistently unpaid debt to third parties for less than a nickel on the dollar right now i would be begging the rolling jubilee project to get rid of my college loans but alas this is always purchased anonymously so it's all pure luck who gets their debt purchased the important thing about this project is that they're actually doing something against an evil system instead of just blogging about it and although fifteen million dollars is a time a need to drop in the debt bucket it may have really saved the financial lives of many americans but that's just my opinion.

if you're thinking about an alcoholic drink associated with russia it's probably not going to be one that springs into your head but they've been making it here on the black sea coast for more than two thousand kids and there's an industry which really can. compete with the best the rest of the world has to offer i've come to meet some of the people going the greats and to see if i can find out the secret to the perfect. place. but soon i.

hello and welcome to worlds apart journalist how long do founded their status as the fourth estate supposedly independent of the other three but as the lines between news and commentary facts and opinions are increasingly blurred don't we need somebody to watch over the watch while to discuss that i'm now joined by our lance most famous reporter and one of the world's most intimidating to bit debaters and brown mr brown thank you very much for your time it's a privilege to talk to you when you began your long journalistic career i think it was clear who the journalists were and what was their status in the society what was their role but nowadays the media field is so broad so a diverse that but much everyone could be called

a journalist i wonder how would you define journalism nowadays i see a define it in the same way as it were i would have defined at the beginning of my career or as i hope i would have defined to because of my career. that our function is to hold institutions and persons of power accountable and that remains the primary role of journalists to operate in the current affairs arena and i think that remains tense but i think a couple of decades ago the main way you would do that would be through breaking the market doing some investigative reporting but these days most of the people of your caliber and as i said to you are the most influential journalists in this country do these shows that primarily center on opinions rather than you know investigative stories and we can see that trend all around the world these days i wonder why do you think that is why is this transformer. and this preference for

opinionated journalism is so prevalent his opinion is journalism life is so her different life that the factual reporting now is twenty four hour phenomenon and also with social media and with the internet people are getting facts on what's happening around the world very immediately and from lots of different sources so the function of journalists has changed a bit and it is to make sense of this huge torrent of facts that become available to audiences and yes i suppose the in analysis of those facts and the interpretation of those facts involve certain opinions but that was always the case because for instance in the choice of stories that we thought were important that reflected our perspective our etiologies conduct was always a factor and that remains a factor you just mentioned the torrent of facts but how do we really know that we are in.
